Philemon 9-11

International Children’s Bible

⁹ But because I love you, I am asking you instead. I, Paul, am an old man now, and a prisoner for Christ Jesus. ¹⁰ I am asking you a favor for my son Onesimus. He became my son while I was in prison. ¹¹ In the past he was useless to you. But now he has become useful for both you and me.
